Among scholars of the necronomicon,
there is a great debate as to the true nature of the great old one
Cthulhu. Some said he was a giant from beyond space, capable of
devouring worlds. Others claimed he slumbered beneath the seas. There
were camps that said he had bulbous yellow eyes the shone like the
fires of hell and some said they were like a man's eyes but for the
inhuman emptiness behind them and others claimed he had no eyes at
all. None disagreed, however, that to look upon him guaranteed a man
lose his sanity. On the evening of November the twenty-seventh, 1932,
Nicholas Watkins forswore reason and dared to summon Cthulhu that he
might say with certainty what the dread god looked like. When he
later told his peers that the endless lord was a tiny fellow of
knitted blue wool with button eyes and red cap, they knew he had
glimpsed Cthulhu, for he had clearly been driven quite mad.
